I've skimmed the threads in this post, and must say that as a SF/Fantasy (yes, I prefer that to speculative fiction) of 40+ years, I like the idea (I own in excess of 2000 SF/Fantasy books, but please, don't ask me to put my hands on more than a select few, lol). I saw the suggested reading lists and have actually read most of them. And enjoyed a lot of them.
I would suggest that anyone looking for a captivating (for the most part), well-written series, they look at the 4-volume Pliocene Epic by Julian May, followed by the companion 2-volume Intervention set, and the concluding trilogy of the Galactic Milieu. It is epic in its concept, and the twist in the final volume, The Magnificat, is every bit as unexpected and welcome as that at the end of Asimov's Foundation and Earth.
